Class - Crochet Hexagon Cardigan
Have you ever wanted to make a crochet sweater but didn't know where to start? This is the class for you! This sweater is made from two granny square hexagons and seamed up the back. It is easily adjustable for any size (you'll learn how in class!).
This is a low stress class. Work at your own pace. There's no deadline. Cas will demonstrate and review all construction aspects throughout the class so you will be able to finish your cardigan in your own time. We recommend choosing bulky-weight or worsted-weight yarn if you want to try an complete your cardigan over the duration of the class.
Cas will walk you through the whole sweater, from getting started, to cuffs and ribbing, to easy modifications you can use to customize your cardigan. Class discussions will include how to customize size, lengths of sleeves or hems, modifying neck bands and cuffs, alternative stitches, and how to add buttons or a zipper for closure as well.
